Tamara's Weightloss Journey!

...*sighs*...

Tuesday: Chinese.
Wednesday: Burger King; whopper jr with cheese, small fry, Oreo shake.
Thursday: Pizza, 8 slices of pizza (they cut it into square uneven pieces).
Friday: Breaded pork chops, pasta roni and asparagus.
Saturday: Burger King; whopper jr with cheese, Oreo freeze and a large fry.
Sunday: Taco Bell; cheese fiesta potatos, crunch wrap supreme and a beef chalupa.

... and that was just dinner.

Monday: 1/2 cup tomato and basil soup with a grilled cheese sandwich w/ 2 pieces of muenster cheese.... then I fucked it all up by having a munchie mania at work (1 chicken quesadilla, 10 mini mozzarella sticks, and a side of waffle fries with cheese and bacon on top)... and of course like the fat pig I am I had to eat it all, and have marinara sauce, ranch to dip the cheese drenched fries in and sour cream for the quesadilla....

I don't know what it is... lack of motivation, lack of willpower, lack of determination....

Can't forget I drank loads of soda too.......

I know I listed some of these days in my last post, but... blah...

...*sighs*...
 
Why dont you step up your exercise?? That always seems to help me stay a little more focused. When I get in a good workout I feel like I don't want to mess it up by eating bad and I become very eager to see my weight change. I have been checking in on you for a few months and it seems you have been sticking to the same thing. Eventually things will slow down or you will get bored and you will have to step it up just a bit more. I think now may be the perfect time to get into some serious exercise. Push that weight down in the direction you want it to go!! You can do it Tam!!:hurray:
 
I bought a brand new digital scale and got it in the mail today, so I did a weigh in and it says I'm 278.6lbs. Although I think a lot of that is from all of last weeks sodium, I'm not going to update my ticker until Friday's weigh in. That's if I stick to it this week... but I'm honestly going to try to.

5 glasses of water... I'll most likely drink 3 more too...

 
Last night I also added a Lean Pocket to my daily food stats, sodium was a little over 3000mg but I did drink 8 glasses of water so I felt a little better about it, but I was really still hungry, not just bored, so I don't feel guilty about the small sodium overdose :p...

As of this morning I weigh 272.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I've been weighing in everyday, lol, but I'll stop weighing in everyday when I feel I can keep going diet wise without weighing in daily... it's keeping me accountable...
 
Lunch
2 servings Whole Grain Chicken, Broccoli & Cheddar Lean Pocket

Dinner
1 serving Garlic bread
1 serving Applesauce
1 serving rice
1 serving Sirloin Steak

Snacks / Other
1 serving cake cone
1 serving Peanut butter chewy granola bar
1 serving vanilla soft serve

Total Calories: 1770

So I think today could have been a little better... the only things I'm really not happy with is the sodium, the fiber, not enough fruits or veggies...and not drinking enough water.

I had a really bad day at work. I got there at 4, was scheduled for 5, and not allowed to punch in until 7!!! I was so pissed. Then my manager told me "to hurry up" nearing the end of the night (to help SOMEONE ELSE finish THEIR work!!!)... ugh... I hate life right now and I was soooo tempted to eat some taco bell on top of above since I picked my husband up taco bell on the way home from work... because I ate half my dinner at work, and the rest when I got home... grrr...

I took somewhere around 8,000 steps tonight, so somewhere between 3.1-3.6 miles... not bad. I really wish I could start doing my cardio again (it's been like 3 months)... but I'm on strike and Hubby STILL won't clean the house... he's the stay at home parent, so I feel like it's rightfully his responsibility since all of the mess is his and our Son's anyway!
 
First of all- congrats on not caving to Taco Bell! I almost did the other day to, and I'm realllly glad I didn't :rolleyes:
Sorry that work was crappy again- I just can't wait for the season to be OVER so that the crazy mall crowds aren't SO crazy. bleh.
And YAY!!! 272 :) amazing work again my dear!
 
Thanks hun!

While I was gone I gained 5lbs, so... flustered, but here's what today looked like!

Breakfast - Cinnamon raisin bagel w/ strawberry cream cheese: 400 cal.
Lunch - Banana and a Smart One's Chicken Cheese Quesadilla: 325 cal.
Snack - Fiber One Cottage Cheese w/ pineapple and vitamin water: 209 cal.
Dinner - Chicken parm w/ mozzarella on a sub w/ broccoli & cheese sauce and 1/2 a coke: 681 cal.

Total - 1615 cal.
Water - Only 36 ounces... :(
Exercise - None other than working for 6 hours.

It will probably take me a bit of time to get back in to my routine, which is probably ok for now, at least I'm watching what I eat again... the Holiday's really threw me off track!!
 
Yesterday:

Breakfast - Egg whites, mozzarella, sausage, toast w/ jam, orange juice: 571 cal.
Lunch - Turkey/muenster sub with hummus, tomato, green pepper, lettuce w/ vitamin water: 472 cal.
Dinner - Chicken taco with cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce and tomato w/ 4oz of broccoli on the side and a banana: 652 cal.
Snack - Banana: 105 cal.
Total cal: 1800.

You cannot believe how much energy I had by the time I got to work because of all the protein I had at breakfast! I was bouncing off the walls!! I think it was a bit much protein, haha... but it was good to be so happy with myself yesterday.

Yesterday was delicious! ...and I got my calories up, not sure how though, lol. Although, curious, does it matter if I eat my calories in three meals and maybe a snack, or if I ate my calories in smaller meals and more snacks? It's the same amount of calories either way.... so? I don't know, I find that when I eat breakfast I need less snacks, but when I skip breakfast I need more snacks, I can't do both breakfast and multiple snacks...
